Town bids to collect more garden waste

MANSFIELD District Council is hoping to extend its garden waste collection service into neighbouring parts of Newark and Sherwood.

Leaflets are being sent to homes in Blidworth, Rainworth, Clipstone, Edwinstowe, Ollerton, Boughton, Bilsthorpe, Southwell and Farnsfield, as part of a consultation to find out how many households would be interested in joining a scheme.

The council aims to recoup its cost by charging people £30 a year for the service, which would run all year – every two weeks from March to November and monthly during December to February.
